Noise Mitigation Solutions for UXO Operations.
Developers of offshore energy infrastructure projects often face the unforeseen challenge of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO) in their project areas— a substantial risk left behind from past wars and decades of munitions dumping on the seabed. The deployment track is meticulously calculated based on the UXO’s location, ensuring precision and safety. At Weyres Offshore we specialize in deploying the Big Bubble Curtain (BBC) for underwater munitions clearance and UXO (Unexploded Ordnance) detonations. Whether it's legacy munitions from past conflicts or modern explosive devices, our bubble curtain systems provide a proven method to reduce the harmful impact of underwater blasts on marine life
Tailored Solutions for UXO Operations
During controlled underwater detonations, shock waves and intense noise can cause severe harm to marine mammals and fish. Our Big Bubble Curtain technology creates a barrier of rising air bubbles that significantly reduces the transmission of sound and pressure waves through the water.
We offer flexible configurations to suit the specific needs of each operation:
-
Single Bubble Curtain: A cost-effective solution for moderate noise reduction, ideal for smaller charges or environmentally less sensitive areas.
-
Double Bubble Curtain: Two concentric rings of bubble curtains provide enhanced attenuation, especially effective for larger detonations or stricter environmental regulations.
-
Full or Semicircular Layouts: When full enclosures are not feasible—such as near shorelines or structures—we deploy semicircle systems that still offer substantial protection while adapting to spatial constraints.
